This is the recipe for the cake I baked yesterday for my husband's birthday. We're off to see the grandchildren this evening for an overnight. I hope they like the cake.
Cake Ingredients:
1 Box Lemon Cake Mix
4 Eggs
1 1/3 Cups of oil (I used canola)
3/4 Cup Orange Juice
1-- 3 oz. Box of Lime Jello
Mix and pour into 3 9-inch pans. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely.
Meanwhile:
Mix thoroughly juice of 3 Limes (I used fresh and it was great) and 6 Tablespoons of Confectioner's Sugar until sugar is well dissolved. Set aside. After layers cool, punch holes in layers and spoon on lime juice mixture.
Icing: We like the canned icing so that's what I used.
1/2 C. Solid Vegetable Shortening 4 C. Sifted Confectioner's Sugar
1/2 C. Butter (softened, not melted) 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla
8 oz. Cream Cheese 1/2 C. Pecans
Using mixer, cream shortening, butter and vanilla together. Gradually add confectioner's sugar. Spread icing on layers and assemble cake.
I hope you enjoy this cake as much as we did!

Your blog is beautiful and the verse in the header is one of my favorites! Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come again. Happy Birthday to your dear husband. I love, love, love anything lemon and this cake sounds divine. I'm on a gluten free diet but can dream of eating a small piece, now can't I? ♥
